Altamont dental made an appointment for me then booted me for not going to it. I got a letter basically stating they can't trust me and no one there will see me again. What? You made the appointment yourself! Don't be mad I didn't go. I didn't put the appointment in my calendar (my fault) since I wasn't there making the appointment. Secondly, everyone I saw there was talking about each other gossiping. The dentist I saw and assistant would trash talk other employees and patients while they done your dental work. I WILL GLADLY FIND SOMEONE ELSE!

Worst dental office ever. Their dental work doesn't hold up. They overcharge and then refuse to give you back you're "credit balance".

Dr. Hopper was wonderful! I was nervous because, I hate going to the dentist and I'm new to this area. I've not had good experiences in the past with other Dentists, that made it extremely hard for me to even make an appointment to begin with. I'm so glad I did! He was so kind, friendly, and more importantly, made me feel very relaxed and took his time. Answered all my questions and helped me understand my treatment plan going forward.
I just loved him so much! The staff was so professional and kind. I was even 10 minutes late, I got lost finding my way to the office, they still took me! Debbie, was a great help! She was wonderful! What can I say. It was a great experience for me. Cleaning coming up soon Thank You to all! Marie Engler

I went online to schedule an appointment as a new patient over a week ago. Received a message, that they would respond. Good thing, it's not an emergency. I used Alamont Dental way back when I was in high school ages ago. I will say the quality and response of the current staff from just this is not the standard I experenced back then nor from the Dentist I've had in much larger cities over the years.
I just moved back after many years. I'm surprised at no response but will look elsewhere for a new dentist. I have read some of the reviews and see that others have experienced good and bad. This first impression has left a bad impression for me though.

Dr. Roller took me in for an infected molar. He put me on antibiotics for almost a month to clear up the infection. I just had my follow up root canal, and I am amazed at how smooth it went. He explained everything he was doing and made me totally feel at ease. My dentist for life!

Dr Shipley and his staff are the absolute best! I knew from the time I saw the "Prayer" sign in the room that I found a good bunch of people. I've bounced around from dentist to dentist and non of them could or would help me. Finally I came to Alamont. Wow! I'm comfortable for the first time in years! God bless them!

I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. The customer service ( Debbie) especially needs to improve her customer skills. The first impression is a lasting one. I give this place a big fat 0 for patient /customer skills
